He and his mentor, Usher, are set to face trial after a $10 million (£6.3 million) lawsuit was reinstated, alleging that one of The Biebs’ tracks copies parts of another song.

In 2013, the pair were accused of copying parts of their joint song, ‘Somebody To Love’ - otherwise known as the one that isn’t ‘Baby, Baby, Baby OHHHHHHH’ - from Devin Copeland, a singer known professionally as De Rico.

Although the case was initially dismissed, an appeal court has now overridden the decision, with Circuit Judge Pamela Harris writing: “After listening to the Copeland song and the Bieber and Usher songs as wholes, we conclude that their choruses are similar enough and also significant enough that a reasonable jury could find the songs intrinsically similar.”

The court also claimed the two songs have an “almost identical rhythm” and “strikingly similar” melodies.

Also named in the lawsuit, alongside the two singers, are Universal Music Publishing Group and Sony/ATV Music Publishing.

‘Somebody To Love’, one of Justin’s earliest tracks, peaked at number 33 in the UK singles chart, when it was released in 2009.
